So enthusiastic that last year I returned from Georgia with a qvevri that I prepared, buried and now have wine aging in it. I will make sure I stop at each of the ten Georgian tables and taste their wines. That\u2019s over 30 wines, but I have two days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/020915a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10933\" style=\"border: 5px solid transparent;\" alt=\"020915a\" src=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/020915a.jpg\" width=\"322\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/020915a.jpg 322w, http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/020915a-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/a>My next game plan is to taste the champagnes at the one table of Champagne Henriot. I will travel to Reims in a couple months for the International Wine Tourism Conference and then participate in a media FAM trip of the Champagne area. Last autumn, Kathy and I participated in a media FAM trip in search of cava in Spain. Some of the other French producers will pour cremants and there are several Italian wineries that will pour prosecco. In all, I will have the opportunity to taste 30 plus sparkling wines<\/p>\n<p>There is a grape variety that I absolutely enjoy. Sagrantino is grown in the Umbria region of Italy. I plan to search that wine out and hope that with 38 tables of Italian wines, I hope I can find more than one Sagrantino. The fourth part of my grad design is to search out wines made from grapes that I have never tasted before. I\u2019ll need to do some research for this. The<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-expos.calls.net\/?_vsrefdom=p.4323\" target=\"_blank\"> Boston Wine Expo<\/a> website has a list of the exhibitors. Many of the tables that will have wine for tasting has a list of the wines. I\u2019ll study this list looking for wines crafted with grape varieties that are new to me.<\/p>\n<p>In the two days I expect to taste fewer than 100 wines.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nTerry<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Pacing at the Boston Wine Expo\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=10932\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exhibitor list is impressive with more than 200.
